Lisa felt somehow awkward as she was left behind alone. She turned and cast a glance at Randy.
Just when she was about to open her mouth, Randy uttered politely, "Grandma Lisa, I've eaten my breakfast already. I'm heading back to my room to do some reading. Please enjoy your breakfast."
Upon saying that, Randy made a bow and left abruptly.
Lisa's smile froze instantly. She had been trying hard to build a relationship with these kids, but it did not seem to work out.
"What a rude bunch of kids, " One of the maids uttered in displeasure.
"Absolutely. It's such an honor to be able to have breakfast with Lady Lisa, " Another maid spoke with a low voice. "They have no etiquette at all. I doubt if they're truly the children of a rich family."
"Shut up!" Just then, Lisa scoffed angrily, "They're Mr. Lierger's children. How dare you talk bad about them behind his back?"
The two maids immediately lowered their heads, not daring to utter another word.
"But speaking of that, the two elder ones…" Lisa's lips curled into a faint smile. "They seem to be more sensible."
"Probably they're more mature due to their age, " one of the maids added.
"They should be." Lisa's tone sounded utterly prideful. "They should behave well if they want to enter this house. We don't even know who their father is. It's better if he doesn't ever show up in my sight…"
To prevent complications in the family, Carl had not told Lisa who Carla's children's birth father was.
"He won't dare to after he knows which family Ms. Lierger is getting married into." The maid let out a provocative laugh.
"Shhh. Ms. Lierger is on her way here!"
All of a sudden, Marianne reminded with a low voice.
The two maids instantly shut their mouths and collected themselves.
"Carla, are you awake already?" Lisa turned around and displayed a genuine smile. "Why don't you get some more sleep?"
"The weather looks great today. And I've promised the kids to take them for horse riding." Carla let out a smile. "Have Lady Lisa had your breakfast? May I join you?"
"Sure." Lisa's smile turned somewhat tense.
The maids around furrowed their brows slightly, as though something was off.
Carla felt something strange going on, but she did not bother much about it.
By that time, Lucas had come downstairs too, and the three of them had a great time enjoying their breakfast.
After breakfast, Lisa wanted to go see the farm. But before Lucas could say he wanted to go with the former, Carla said she had promised to bring the kids for horse riding.
All the maids froze in their spots when they heard that.
Yet, Lisa was not offended at all. She even asked if she could join them as she was good at horse riding.
Carla was reluctant for Lisa to join them, but she had no choice but to accept it.
With that, they all rode in the carriage and headed toward the horse farm.
The kids were jumping up and down inside the carriage, overwhelmed with excitement.
Meanwhile, Randy stared at the endless grass field outside the carriage while letting out a long sigh. "It would be perfect if Josh could be here. He loves horse riding."
"How about you? Don't you like it?" Carla caressed his head gently.
"I'm no expert in any sports." Randy let out another sigh. "I'm only good at using my brain."
"You should try to develop in other areas…" Carla uttered gently. "Look at your…"
She almost said his father, but she immediately changed her words. "Look at your Uncle Dan. Not only is his academically outstanding, but he is also skilled in sports."
"Daddy too." Randy added right away.
Carla froze on the spot, not knowing how to respond to that.
Randy did not say anything anymore, continued to play on his tablet. He was not playing mobile games, but he always liked searching for information on software and IT technology.
"I miss Daddy and Josh too." Venus displayed an indignant expression. "I wonder when we could meet them again."
"It'll be soon. There are 39 days left."
As Carla spoke, only then did she realize how fast time passed.
